Sir,
There exists another, the ninth, copy of the Grunenberg armorial, namely in the Moravian Land Archives in Brno, Czech Republic. Eight leaves are missing, otherwise complete. At a first sight, it was rather copied from BSB CGM 9210, not from any of the two originals.
Yours sincerely,
Frantisek Picha.

Dear colleague,
thank you very much indeed for this information. Cgm 9210 belongs to the rather large group which seems to depend on a Cgm 145 type (in other words, the Berlin ms, now available online!, is the odd one out), but fortunately for a comparative enterprise, it has some oddities including the rather strange error I have highlighted in this posthttp://heraldica.hypotheses.org/2720
So in principle, it should be possible to distinguish copies dependend on Cgm 9210 from other Cgm 145-type manuscripts. Do you have any guess what the date of the Brno manuscript is?
Yours sincerely, and with many thanks,
Christof Rolker
